Transspecies Transition Plans

I've been working up the courage to make this post for a bit. These are plans for if technology doesn't advance enough by the time I'm 30. All my plans are under the cut, in no particular order.

Physical

- Nose Removal. This is the one I have thought about the most. Mimics don't have noses, and even in their human(oid) forms, their noses are a bit pug-like. I would like to have surgery to remove most of my nose, preferably keeping a bit of the bridge and exposing more of the nostrils.

- Top Surgery. I do not feel that this really needs an explanation. I would like to add that this would include removing my nipples as well.

- Full Body Tattoos. I would like full body tattoos to make myself look more fleshy and skinless.

- Liposuction/Buccal Fat Removal. As of right now, I am fat. I would like to have most of my fat removed and tone my face to make myself skinnier/appear more like a mimic.

- Laser Hair Removal. Mimics have no hair. Removing my body hair and making myself completely bald would help add to the skinless look/affirm me more.

- Gender Nullification Surgery. This has to do with both my gender and species. I am non-binary, and all the Vita Carnis species have no biological sex (and no genitals), so this is like killing two birds with one stone.

- Eye Widening Surgery. I have looked into this the least, but if it is possible, I think widening my eyes just the tiniest bit would make a difference.

- Smile Widening Surgery. I flat out do not know if this is possible, but I would like some way to make my smile more uncanny.

- Fingernail/Toenail Removal Surgery. Mimics don't have fingernails or toenails. Seeing them on me makes me grossed out.

Gear

- Digitigrade leg extensions, if digitigrade surgery doesn't exist in the future.

- Those long fingers that are used for cosplays/Halloween costumes, paint/modify them to make them look more like my flesh (image example below).

Social/Other

- Mimic mask, just in case.

- Contacts that make my irises black and look a bit bigger.

- Incorporate more meat into my diet (mainly pork/pig products).

- Embrace my more animalistic instincts.

- Come out to more people.

Different standards

OH YEA BTW BTW. I got caught up in another fixation so I didn't comment about this the day-of or when I watched it but. The Lunar's apology video!!

And frankly? I don't see anything wrong with this episode actually! This looks really promising and there's even acknowledgments of topics I wasn't sure they'd ever bring up on the show. I still hold a lot of feelings on past episode leading to this point, but I think am overall wildly relieved that this was where we ended up. Lunar could have easily forfeited everything out of shame and stayed in that dingy apartment, not ready to take their mental bandages off yet and start the process of disinfecting the wounds.

But they swallowed their pride and not only initiated the conversation but also admitted they were wrong!! They were just dripping with vulnerability in this episode and ghod don't I know that takes a lot. I must confess I am also terribly excited for their conversation with Eclipse because I feel like, this time around, it will actually be more of a conversation instead of... Lunar talking at Eclipse about how they're not scared of him anymore while Eclipse tries to rile them up.

Because Eclipse is at a place where he has actually changed for the better and because Lunar is at a place where masking doesn't do them good anymore, I feel like they will actually have to both contribute time the conversation instead of it just being like it was last time. I am,,, very hopeful for whatever happens in it, to be quite honest HSJABD

I'll also add that honestly, most of my worries stem from just,,, wondering how this is going to be moving forward. Like, in a more meta sense. Earth had acknowledged that trauma takes a long time to heal, but I worry that process may be sped up for the sake of videos. Not to mention, Earth honestly has every right to be upset at Lunar, like, forever tbh. They did something that is going to affect her for the rest of her life. I'm worried this is gunna be, like,,, a wedge between them for good.

I actually have a lot of thoughts abt how things were and are and will be around this but uhm I have talked so much longer than I intended to so that's all for now. Overall, happy with this direction!!

one of the first few things i remember noting about the show when i watched it all for the first time (i dont quite count when i initially watched the pilot a yr ago cus i dont think i was giving it enough attention) was the idea that a person adapting fast to the circus is Weird. like it doesnt mean that the person likes it so much as it implies the person either 1. is just adaptable, thats a factor, or 2. they already are used to awful situations and adapting to this one IS still likely a challenge, but their ability to slot into the setting can sorta imply a person was already used to despair or fear, potentially to an extreme. and i remember noting how pomni adapted fast. like she definitely hasnt fully gotten used to it and i think that will take a Long While. but i think her ability to treat it as Life, her ability to give up on leaving so fast speaks to the idea that i feel like she gives off that she was absolutely miserable or had a history of being absolutely miserable before the circus....

is anybody else, like, disappointed about cassandra's introduction in season 3? forgive me if im missing something but in s2 cassandra went by they/them and was written and implied to be nonbinary, only for them to retcon that in the next season.

like dont get me wrong its their character and they can write them however they choose but still... it kinda sucks :(

I don‘t think shadow would be much of a video game kinda of guy but if he were I feel like he‘d make all his characters look like maria to send her on all the little adventures she never got to have (I‘m thinking of the game versions of the characters here, I don‘t think this is said/canon for the movies so for those who haven‘t played the games: maria has a autoimmune disease in the games that dr robotnik is trying to find a cure for which is why he brings her everywhere but also why she never got to go out much)

like can you imagine shadow playing monsterhunter world and his hunter is maria and he made the palico look like himself

or animal crossing. That‘s not his island, that‘s marias little village of friends. The house is in cozy warm tones and has all the things she likes in it, one room is decorated to be his own. The villagers are all carefully hand selected to be folks he thinks maria would have liked and also a few ones that he thinks are neat (he may or may not have accidentally selected a group of villagers that are esssentialls sonic and friends but don‘t tell him that)

in pokémon or palworld he makes the player look like maria and her ace in her team would be a pokémon/pal that he thinks resembles or represents him in some way (in pokémon there are a lot of different options depending on the game but in palworls it would be an incineram for sure)

How ever I feel like he‘d only do that in fun adventure or cozy games, in games that he know take dark turns or straight up traumatize the player character in some way he‘d not do that and instead, if the option is there, make the companion resemble maria instead (but only after looking up the the companion dies or gets tortured or something, then he‘ll make the companion something/someone different)

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

The Dandy with his Hand on his chest

I wanted to do a big piece before the month ended and I had been thinking on drawing a study of "The Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest" by El Greco with Slayer for a good while, because I adore that painting and believe it fits him, since it has a mysterious yet noble aura to me. Very dandy!

I love Slayer's Rev2 Color 4, so I got really happy when it returned as Color 10 in Strive, now with a very stylish nail polish, too.

character name reveals!

ive decided i want to ramble about linguistics so im posting updated name reveals for my OCs! this did not take long lol anonymity rip ig. anyways hopefully this makes my prior post make a bit more sense

Sabreia - pronounced sab-REE-uh, this is the updated name for my fmc. she was originally Sabrina but I wanted an update. Depending on particular regional accents, the pronunciation would shift: one character pronounces her name more slowly and deliberately, like saB-bREE-Yuh. technically this uses a diphthong so enunciating would make it sab-bree-ih-uh

Daegan - pronounced DAY-guhn. i love him and anyone who hurts him (its me im the problem its me, me and the narrative) has to answer to me. say it slowly and correctly enough and its nearly three syllables, because of the diphthong, so it would be DAY-ih-gun.

Araen - pronounced ah-RAY-un. its a diphthong, u know the drill. enunciation makes it ah-RAY-uhn while fast speaking makes it ah-rain. his father the shitty lord calls him ah-rie-un, a bit like the name ryan with an a at the beginning, because he's posh like that

isylida - let the y usage begin! this one is ih-ZIE-lih-duh. if you want, you can hint at an extra syllable by elongating the ie sound of the y, making it ih-ZIE-IH-lih-duh

Zandyr - my FAVE. ok listen here me out. Zahn-deer. basically the name Xander but remove the ugly dystopian X from the spelling and elongate what is normally an unstrssed schwa sound. be really emphatic about it and you can turn zahn-dehr into zahn-dee-yer

thats the main cast! if anyone is actually bother to read this shit, lemme know! i can share place names as well

basically i wanted to give them all a slightly otherworldly sense to them by emphasising a few unfamilar vowels. because of how casual speech worls, most of these names would jsut be pronounced with two syllables (daegan, zadnyr, araen) or three (sabreia) or four (isylida). BUT pronouncing diphthongs is cool because that's two long vowels smushed together! making an extra bonus syllable that you CAN enunciate should you choose to do so
